Jeffrey Erlbaum:

Boston travelers beware. Now that Airtran has dropped its route from Philadelphia to Boston, USAIRWAYS has raised the fare for business travelers who don't spend three nights, from $150-$400 depending on advance purchase to $968.00. Yes that is to Boston, where the flight should take 1 hour, but USAIRWAYS gives themselves 1 1/2 hours and still manages to be late at least 40% of the time. At $968.00 you are better off taking Amtrak or Southwest to Manchester or Providence. Even with a limo from either of these two cities you will still save money.
